PUD-93-02-09M 2001 Ruby Hill Boulevard Result in pollution emission levels above those established by BAAQMD in either short term (construction related) or long term (traffic). Less Than Significant Potentially With Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant No Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Air Quality Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district maybe relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the ^ ^ ^ ^ applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ^ ^ Q ^ substantially to an existing or projected air quality c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase ^ ^ ~ ^ of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant ^ ^ Q ^ concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ^ ^ ^ ^ number of people? Discussion a-d) The proposed project is expected to generate short-term impacts related to construction activities during site preparation (clearing/grubbing) and building relocation. There is variability in construction activities making it difficult to precisely quantify the daily emissions associated with the proposed project. During building relocation some equipment may exceed some of the established BAAQMD emissions standards, however, construction activity on the site is required to implement dust control measures (e.g., periodic watering of the site, cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose material, etc.) to control airborne particulate. All construction equipment is required to meet all current exhaust standards for emissions. Long-term operational emissions would be generated by both stationary and mobile sources as a result of normal day-to-day activities on site subsequent to construction completion. Stationary area source emission would be generated by the consumption of natural gas for space (HVAC) and water heating devices and operation of landscape maintenance equipment. Mobile source emissions would be generated by motor vehicles traveling to and from the project site. The anticipated weekend vehicular traffic to and from the event center will result in small, incremental, and insignificant increases. Therefore, this would be aless-than-significant-impact.
